[Verse 1]
D#5 G5
Marry me to the blue sky
G#5
Bury me in that long last drop of hard rain
C5 G5
Meet me where they stop time
A#5
That's you to me on the shovel that's digging this grave
G5
Till I can waltz on a moonbeam
G#5
Till I can find a way to return all tears into wine
D#5 G5
I'll hitch my ride to a day dream
A#5 G#5
Can't unkiss the lips that love is leaving behind
[Chorus]
D#5
I ain't living with the ghost
G#5
No future living in the past
C5
I've seen that hate has done to hop
A#5
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
G#5
I ain't living with the ghost
C5
How can I scream, I'm scared to breathe
A#5
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
G#5
I ain't living with the ghost
[Verse 2]
D#5 G5
I set my sails over wheat fields
G#5
Rode waves of amber let a new sun shine on my face
C5 G5
I dropped the sword, put down my shield
A#5
I left your scars for the stars guiding my way
G5
I traded hurting for healing
G#5 D#5
I must admit that I was reeling now I'm feeling just fine
G5
I traded nightmares for dreaming
A#5 G#5
Go tell your shadows that I got out alive
[Chorus]
D#5
I ain't living with the ghost
G#5
No future living in the past
C5
I've seen what hurt has done to hope I found the tree I cut the rope
A#5
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
G#5
I ain't living with the ghost
C5
How can I scream, I'm scared to breathe
A#5
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
G#5
I ain't living with the ghost

[Bridge]
G#5
Last night I had this dream
Fm A#
I saw a man wash his feet in the church holy water
G#
He worked up to his knees
Cm A#
From his arms to his neck said I'm over in my head
G#
He was crying trying to get some relief
Fm
Lord, I'm just trying to get some relief
G#
I had this dream
D# G# Cm A#
That man was me
[Chorus]
D#5
I ain't living with the ghost
G#5
No future living in the past
C5
I've seen what hurt has done to hope I found the tree I cut the rope
A#5
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
G#5
I ain't living with the ghost
C5
How can I scream, I'm scared to breathe
A#5
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
G#5
Now I ain't living with the ghost
